Picture this: you’ve just landed in Bali… the scent, the warmth, the energy, it hits and you soften instantly. Ready to be completely looked after & nourished for the next 5 days. 🤤
Bali has a special place is my heart the Hindu culture, the kindness of the Balinese people, the daily offerings... it’s sacred.

Back in 2016 Louise & I completed our initial YTT here, knowing the impact these lands and teachings had on us, we wanted to give others the same immersive experience.

This Bali retreat theme? RADIANCE. We’ll be excavating, planting, and blooming, moving through limiting beliefs, reconnecting with the heart’s longing, and stepping into aligned action.

Think: daily yoga, meditation, yin, ceremony, ritual, workshops, mala making, a water-clearing ritual led by local Balinese women, massage, connection, reflection, sound healing, creativity, Inner Radiance Photoshoot Workshop, and the most nourishing food in such lush setting. 🌺✨

I am so excited to be back on this dreamy island!

When was the last time you took an adventure completely for you? Lou & I would love to share this with you,

Reach out for more information,
With love,
J 🤍

I was chatting with @the.art.of.cyclical.living yesterday and we were reflecting on why retreat spaces feel so darn special.
At the core of it all, it’s women coming together ~ sharing stories, being witnessed, held, nurtured.

A space where we reconnect back to ourselves and each other, feeling safe, seen, and supported.

We weren’t meant to do so much of this alone. In these spaces I remember that you and I are not seperate or so different.

Women from all walks of life coming together to move, sit in circle, reflect, connect, be held and remember who they heck they are beyond all the roles they have to play in this life. AND do practices that support themselves deeply.

There’s something magic that unfolds when we come together in this way.

This is apart of the reason retreats feel like pure magic ✨

Maddison & I have our next seasonal retreat coming up soon. Think a warm fire, gooey practices, delicious food, nature and nourishment.

*kisses little jazzys forehead 💌

I honour all the versions of me that have landed me here today & thankful that I’ve met myself over and over again 🤍

Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life, and you will call it fate.” – Carl Jung

So much of what shapes our lives isn’t just what we consciously choose, but the patterns, beliefs, and conditioning in the under current of our everyday. The way we react, the stories we tell ourselves, the cycles we find ourselves in, until we bring awareness to them, they quietly pull the strings.

Your power lies in noticing, awareness gives us power. When we start to witness and unravel these hidden layers, we reclaim our ability to choose. To step beyond what feels like fate and into new alignment with what we are longing for or calling fourth.

Next time you feel yourself reacting, pause. What story/belief is creating that reaction? Our beliefs about ourselves shape the way we experience the world - when we shift those beliefs, we transform our inner & outer worlds! 🦋

We become who we needed to be to feel safe, accepted, or loved. We bury parts of ourselves. We armor up. We develop patterns that once served us but now keep us stuck.

But beneath the layers of conditioning, beyond the triggers and adaptations, you are still there. Whole. Intact. Waiting to be remembered. I like to think of this as our essence 💭

The journey back to yourself isn’t about becoming someone new, it’s about unlearning, softening the armor. Meeting the wounded parts with compassion instead of judgment. Seeing your triggers not as enemies, but as invitations to heal and FEEL 🦋

A lil food for thought that’s been brewing in my awareness ☕️ thankful for this work and all it’s fostered within me and my inner world.

I hope you get a moment to come back to your heart today,
With love, x

We all long to be seen, heard, and loved. Healing happens when we feel safe, connected to our bodies, breath, and the present moment. Through this connection, we access our vulnerability, express our truth, and can come back home to our true nature, our true selves behind all the walls we have built to feel safe/function.

——— Here are some golden threads that have already landed for me - I hope they resonate with you too 💌

SO excited to bring a lot of love into this evening & hopefully share it with you,
Jasmine, x

welcome to a lil life update ~ change, evolution, ups and downs are inevitable. True change has come for me when I have chosen courage over comfort and aligned my world with choosing my self and my wellbeing over anything else.

I hope this behind-the-scenes share reassures you that it’s okay to pivot, to let go, and to choose differently. Just because you’ve poured so much of yourself, your love, energy, and passion, into an environment, situation, or person doesn’t mean you can’t make a change. It’s okay to choose differently.

Does any of this resonate with you? I would love to hear what’s been moving in your world over the past month ✨

Big love, thank you for creating a community I always feel safe enough to share my heart with 💌

I feel very privileged to celebrate growing another year older. I hope I’m still doing this when I’m a 90 year old Goldie 🥂 imagine all lessons, learnings and wisdom that will weave into this life time 🤍
Happy New Year beauties, may you be well, may you be happy, may you be peaceful & May you be loved,
I hope you’re off to a goodie,
With love, x

2024, what a ride, a polarity, an expansion (a few points of contraction), a challenge, a joy, a shift, a deepening into trust
Welcoming in 2025 & my 29th year tomorrow ~
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to this community, to everyone I have shared a 1:1 session with, a retreat, event, class or workshop.
You are what makes Kind Mind feel so special & fulfilling 🫶🏽
Big love beautiful people, x

2024 feels like I’ve lived three lives in one. 🌿
Starting my own counselling practice, continuing with events management, an incredible adventure through North and South America, weaving together retreats, events and classes.

I pushed my limits (more times than I would like to admit, Capricorn 101), sometimes in ways that left me feeling overextended. But in saying that, this year I have never felt so secure, settled and grounded in myself.

This year has been full of lessons around worth, boundaries, and truly honoring what I am (and am not) willing to hold.

Reflecting and feeling thankful for it all, even through the growing pains and when it feels messy.
I will be signing off for a bit to sink into being present with myself and loved ones 💌

Thank you for all your love and support along the way, AND for all the incredible connection - I truly feel so fortunate to meet and share with such brilliant, wonderful humans

Big hugs & love
Jasmine xx

Ignite your hearts wisdom ~ a workshop for the heart 💌 join @crazygoodexperience & I for an evening in nature that honours the fire within.

Drop into your heart and let it expand; tap into all the love that fills your world. With a focus on the Heart & Small intestine meridian lines, this workshop encourages joy, connection, openness and a chance to remember your radiance ~

We will be moving through Meditation, a Cacao Ceremony, QiGong, Kundalini Mantra Chant.

Date: 12th December (next Thursday!)
Time: 6.30-8.30pm
Location: Botanical Park
Energy Exchange: $55
Meridian Pair: Heart & Small Intestine (Fire)

Our intention is for this workshop is to honour the fire within and appreciate the bright spark you are. A time to remember connection & joy 🌱

We would love to share this with you, if you would like to come along reach out or head to the link in BIO 🌺

I hope you’re having a lovely day & slowing down with the end of the year
Big love, x

First we create our habits, then our habits create us. Small steps = big shifts 🦋
How you spend your days is how you spend your life, are you living in line with your values? It’s been a journey of coming back to the heart, learning to do things from love & not for love.

No one knows what makes your heart sing more than you do. In the online space everyone speaks into pain points, know your niche etc tbh I’m just not about this as it feels disempowering to try and make your community feel like they need you or they won’t be ‘fixed or solved’. You aren’t something to fix or solve you’re a masterpiece waiting to be explored.

Through my offerings my heart felt intention is to help guide you back to your authentic connection to your heart, body and longings. To live a life more in line with your values and beliefs, I don’t have a golden ticket or secret code, but YOU do and I love helping you tap into living and tending to what’s authentic for you, that big beautiful heart of yours.

Deep gratitude to everyone I have shared 1:1 containers with, a retreat, workshop or class with this year.

Thank you for sharing your deepest inner workings and heart with me. It’s truly beautiful and I can’t believe I get to witness brilliant humans come back home to themselves and their parts in this way.

Big juicy yin loves,
💌

Boundaries are not something you can learn from someone else; they are cultivated within your own body.

When you reconnect with your inner sensations—whether it’s feeling anger, recognizing the need for space, or sensing discomfort—you’re tuning in to what your body is trying to communicate. These boundaries are born from your intuition and your connection to self.

One of the challenges of being or becoming a people pleaser, especially from a young age, is that you learn it’s not safe to prioritize your own needs.

Over time, this can lead to abandoning your inner feelings and engaging in self-sacrifice to ensure the needs of others are met.

I often see this in my work: when individuals are asked to reconnect with their bodies and tune into what their sensations might be communicating, it can be a difficult process. However, with time and practice, this connection can be reestablished and come back stronger than ever.

It’s common to feel guilt when you start prioritizing your own needs over those of others. This is where parts work can be incredibly beneficial. By tending to the part of you that feels guilty, asking it what it needs, and offering support, you can reassure it that it’s okay to feel this way.
After all, you may not have done this before, and it’s normal for it to feel scary.

Understanding boundaries also means recognizing that how you show up in one area of your life often reflects how you show up in all areas. If you struggle with boundaries in one relationship, that pattern might show up elsewhere. It’s essential to cultivate a detached awareness, to observe these patterns without being overwhelmed by them. By doing so, you can walk in right relationship with your boundaries and your inner world.

It’s important to recognize that it’s completely normal to feel uncomfortable when you start communicating your needs or placing yourself at the forefront. You don’t have to make drastic changes overnight. Sometimes, it’s the small, 1% shifts each day that make the most significant impact over time. By gradually honoring your needs and prioritizing yourself, you build a stronger, more authentic connection with yourself.

🤍

So quickly, things that once filled us with awe and wonder can become mundane. We get used to the wonders around us and sometimes forget how remarkable they are.
Look up, remember 🏔️🌿🪽—feeling so fortunate to spend so much time living simply in the natural world. Less is best.

Quilitola Loop - A 43km, 3-Day Hike Through the Andes 🏔️🪽
I am so thankful for the medicine that a big challenge like this brings, along with the insight and reflection it offers.

Covering 43km with everything you need on your back, through 4 different villages, 13 hours of walking, and climbing 2300m from Sigchos to the Quilotoa Volcano:
Day 1: Sigchos to Isinlivi
Day 2: Isinlivi to Chugchilan
Day 3: Chugchilan to Quilotoa Volcanic Crater/Town

We had no idea how hard this was actually going to be. To all the people on Reddit who undersold it—thank you. You must have written that on your completion high. We are so thankful we took this in our stride.

Getting lost, sometimes encountering little to no signage at each turn, having only an A4 sheet of printed instructions from the hostel to guide us. Hiking through mud, sand, thorn bushes, and high altitude - what an adventure!

There were some nights I was waking up at 2am dreading getting up the next morning to trot up another huge mountain.

On Day 2, we took a wrong turn and felt so lost. I was apprehensive to take my next steps, constantly looking around for signs that we were going the right way. I hated not having control, not knowing if we were traveling in the right direction, if every step we took was leading us astray. Quite similar to how life can feel sometimes…I softened into trust, knowing I would get there eventually. It might take a little longer, but I would be okay, and there was nothing to fret over. Just keep following the river, and you will find a marker. An hour later, we did. Like in life sometimes worrying and questioning takes more effort than striving forward fiercely with trust.

Walking past the Andean communities, we witnessed people living and working together, taking life slowly, moving up the mountains in flats without breaking a sweat.

It can be really hard to feel or foster a sense of safety in the body, especially if you have experienced trauma, had a complex childhood, or generally live a fast-paced life.

Usually, we can have a sense of urgency, rumination, worry, or disease present throughout our days.

Fostering safety in your body is a practice that builds your capacity to feel safe more of the time.

This felt sense of safety is super subtle, as is the underlying stress and holding you may be experiencing.

Safety lies in the little moments when you can remind yourself it’s safe to slow down, it’s safe to soften, and you don’t need to cut the onions a million miles an hour. You can rest and feel feelings of ease more of the time.

Listen out for these cues, and notice the environments, people, and habits that create a sense of safety. Where do these things come easily?

Can you cultivate safety with ease as much as you cultivate stress? Like everything, it’s all a practice and starts with awareness—the power lies within noticing.
🤍🕊️

You will never know the ripples you create ~ lead with love, touch those you come in contact with with kindness

A little overflow from the last few weeks – Remember, you are not a problem to solve, you are a miracle to explore. 🕊️

The past few weeks have been fulfilling:
〰️ Flinders Camping Retreat – what a weekend! Each incredible woman who joined us left a golden thread of wisdom or teaching. Being with women of all ages and walks of life teaches me so much. Grateful for the adventure and connection.

〰️ Mornings with fairy floss skies and movements.

〰️ Deeply connecting with clients in 1:1 counselling sessions. Sharing space for self-discovery, acceptance, support, and growth has been a gift. It’s hard to believe it’s only been 4 months since I started this ‘work’. I’m so thankful to all who have stepped into this journey with me.

〰️ Monthly peer support meetings with the wonderful @sophiamariatherapy – growing and learning together has been such a beautiful experience. 🤍

Not pictured:
〰️ Yin Yoga, Term 2, has resumed on Tuesday evenings, 6-7:15 pm in Croydon - $15 per person. Perfect if you’re craving a weekly pause.

〰️ Lecturing at Flinders Uni on Thursdays on the Paramedic Science Wellbeing class, and Friday wellbeing sessions at the RAAF base.

Sitting in contentment for all that is present in this moment and excited for what’s to come. 🌱

〰️ June: 7 Days Devotion to a Kind Mind – a 7-day online offering, coming soon.

In late June, I’ll be traveling to the States to visit my partner’s family, then back to South America for a pilgrimage and some self-study. The teachings and wisdom from my first trip to Peru have guided me these past four years. I’m excited to share my travels with you.

〰️ September 13-17: UBUD IMMERSION Retreat with @seahaus_ $1999 / all inclusive for the 5-days (flights not included)

Thank you for being a part of Kind Mind. I’d love to connect with you soon! 💫

retreats 〰️ events 〰️ workshops

One of my passions is creating spaces for people to immerse themselves in, to be fully seen, supported and held 🪶⚡️

I would love to share a pocket of time and space with you. 🦋

Thank you for being here 🌱

Trust in the unfolding of your life. You can see it as everything is happening to me or happening for me. I know that sometimes life can be horrible and can make no sense..

The pain, stress, and hardship of life is real and it can feel unfair. For some things, there can’t possibly be an explanation that makes everything okay.

But I’d like to provide a different, more empowering perspective that is centered on having faith in the process and that everything can be a lesson or a blessing.

While it’s easier to look back, observe, and have opinions on how things went, I think it’s equally as important (and generally more effective) to bring that philosophy into the present moment.

Trust the process of your path, your evolution & your growth. Trust that you can overcome anything that comes your way 🤍

What feels like a hug to your nervous system when you are faced with life’s adversities:
〰️ pausing
〰️ prioritising rest
〰️ pop on some music and move through these simple movements
〰️ slowing down to listen to what you need & where you need to put yourself first
〰️ listen to your body
〰️ take a warm bath
〰️ allow yourself to receive
〰️ mindfully move your body
〰️ get outdoors
〰️ create a safe space for you to feel and release
〰️ just be where you are, nothing to fix and solve. Move through the motions
〰️ practice self-compassion & acceptance
〰️ connect with one of your special pals

That in which we resists persists. When we try and push away or suppress certain emotions, they usually come back louder until they feel heard and held.

When we provide the space for our bodies to soften and to be with what ever comes to the surface usually the emotion comes and goes.

I hope this helps you to connect back with your heart & to take the space to simply be with what is present for you 🤎

Hello loves,

I have had many different stages of my own therapeutic journey in this life. But your wounds can still creep up in you in wild ways in all stages of this life. It can be the same core wound in a different story. Every time we heal in one stage and area of our life, it requires us to continue to tend to that part of ourselves, to continue to help it feel seen and supported. To ‘level up’ our awareness in a sense.

While this may seem like just another thing to do, we are meant to GROW & EVOLVE in this life. Living true to your inner compass and needs, becomes this beautiful dance (that does get easier the more we do it). Living more fully, intentional and embodied in tune with your needs.

Do you value seeing and understanding yourself more than how others perceive you?

You are the person you have to wake up with every day for the rest of your life. Let’s make it the best relationship it can be.

Do you value how you see yourself more than how others see you? I would love to get an insight below 💭

Having a regulated nervous system isn’t about being calm all the time.

It’s natural for our bodies to go in and out of different nervous states from day to day!

We need a little stress hormone to get us up for the day. We are meant to flow between the different nervous system states.

When we spend most of our time disregulated or in a heightened state it can be hard for us to:
1. Feel safe to return to a calm centred space, the nervous system would prefer a familiar chaos over a uncertain new calm
2. Stay within our nervous system capacity and go from the highs and lows of go, go, go to burn out and crash
3. Have the awareness of what we need to regulate

Our nervous system communicates via emotions and somatic sensations, not through language. This is why it’s so important to listen to our bodies subtle ques… is your jaw clenched, shoulders tight, does your mind race? It can be so powerful to slow down, put your hands on your body and pause especially after a busy, stressful, or traumatic time.

The road to release is through the body - mobilising out of protective outputs, releasing emotions, unlocking old patterns, finding a sense of safety and connection to the body again.

It is entirely normal to fluctuate between different states as your body responds to demand, stress and the needs of your environment.

This week my body has been asking for me to slow down, to find stillness after a busy period. How I feel this year after completing goodness me is completely different to last year. Over the past year I have built a better understanding of my body, mind and nervous system. I am so grateful to have the insight and awareness to know when I am in a disregulated state just wanting to stay on auto/pilot and scroll or stay busy…when my body really just wants me to come home.

It’s all a practice and one that requires deep listening ✨💘

Thank you beautiful body & nervous system for all the wonderful ways you adapt to keep me safe.
I’m listening 🤍

Check me out this AM, in my trackies taking the time to ground and welcome in the new day. ✨

Goodness Me, what a weekend! A weekend of community, expansion, connection, insights, experiences, dancing & expression. 🦋✨🪩🕺🏼🧚‍♀️

I am sitting in such deep gratitude for all the love shared and poured into this weekend. Huge appreciation to our little team that creates @goodnessmefestival - and to all of the incredible facilitators that shared their art, to the volunteers, sound crew, stall holders, food vendors and to everyone who came along to co-create in the magic of goodness me - a big heart felt thank you & hug!

Being the creative director of this offering is one of my biggest teachers 🤎

I hope what we co-created and cultivated over this weekend ripples and integrates into your world in the best way possible.

HUGE love to anyone who offered a hug, some kind words and your support. I feel incredibly lucky for this love & special community 🦋🤍

May we continue to guide each other home 🪷🪶

Last pop up nature flow until the warmer days return, celebrating the Autumn Equinox, balance and tuning into what we need as longer nights and shorter days come our way 🦋

Big appreciation to everyone who has popped into these lil sessions. It’s been beautiful to connect & move.

How incredible is the sky coming to life to welcome in a new day 💘 Over the past 10 years yoga has been constant pillar to help me ground and connect no matter what else is flowing in my world. So grateful for this practice, the community of incredible beans it brings and the balance it brings.

Big love, x ✨

some lil happy hacks for you & your beautiful brains on this Friday 💘

T minus 11 days until our Goodness Me Festival ✨ this year will be the second activation of Goodness Me. 🦋

Directing the festival is apart of what makes up my week and this idea was sprouted back when I was a wee 22 year old.

Our intention behind Goodness Me, is for it to be so much more than a festival.

We want this offering to feel like a home coming. For you to be able to explore and express in your inner and outer worlds.

For it to be a gathering where community can come together with the shared intention of experiencing, enjoying and expanding.

To experience the art of multiple people’s passions through music, dance, workshops, performances, crafts, food and stalls.

The energy felt and created at our first activation was surreal and beautiful. We are so excited to co-create with those coming along on the 23rd! ⚡️🌸

With over 35+ workshops, activations, live music sets included in your ticket. Plus the artisan ally, food trucks, zen den and option to camp ⛺️ it’s shaping up to be a delicious weekend!

Festival is on Saturday the 23rd March. Only a handful of First Release Tickets left! 🎫

I hope you all feel lovely and are off to a beautiful start ✨ may your inner spark be bright and radiant today,

Thinking is the mind’s attempt to solve itself.

When your mind goes into hyperdrive, dissecting a situation, it is your mind’s way of…

~ Trying to protect parts of you that have been hurt before
~ Attempting to control the outcome by finding the best possible solution
~ Avoiding feeling what is actually happening within you and your body

Overthinking might feel very productive in the moment, yet it rarely results in a positive solution.

When perceived fear triggers your sympathetic nervous system it engages what is referred to as the fight or flight response. Overthinking is a symptom of fear and can become a trap.

Your mind flows through every part of your body and becomes one mouthpiece for beliefs, thoughts, and feelings. When you over-think you also under-feel. Emotions canrt to feel stuck in the body causing a person to experience tiredness, exhaustion, have headaches or migraines, digestive issues. And guess what… this feedback gets recycled back to your brain again to reinforce the fear trigger.

If you’re caught up in this loop of overthinking and under feeling here are some things you can do to break the cycle:
~Exercise
Moving your body to break a sweat and increase your heart rate for even five minutes begins the process for breaking down stress hormones and sends messages to the brain that this fight or flight response has done it’s jobn switch nervous system states. Exercises increase endorphins (the feel-good hormones).

~Breathe
Breathwork is very powerful; connect to the present moment, what’s here for you. Let your emotions bubble to the surface to be felt.

So much of what I do in this life is for her.

For this big hearted, shy, wild, smiley, crafty, magic potion making, mr potato loving sweet, sweet girl.

To create the spaces for people to connect back to these parts of ourselves. To tend to their parts and inner worlds in the ways they need.

I grew up in a DV household and that had a huge impact on me in my younger/teen years. It made me grow up far quicker than I needed to. It pushed me into a people pleasing, industrious, hyper-independent nature as that felt safer…to be so successful and to create such a strong foundation for myself that I would never have to be in a environment that didn’t feel safe again.

Hyper-independence is one of the more accepted trauma responses as it leads to more ‘successful’ outcomes. But in this hyper-independence you seek worth externally. You self-sacrifice and don’t put your needs first. Slowing down can feel hard and unsafe.

Over the past few years of really working with my parts, tending to core patterns/beliefs and questioning why I am the way I am and how to integrate my younger needs/wounds as an adult now. I have learnt to lean on people, to slow down, to rest and to have such a deep sense of self just as I am not for what I do.

We all have a story…I am so at peace with what I have moved through in this life that has led me to today. It hasn’t always been that way and it has taken a lot of unravelling and care.

I thank my past and how it has made me a well-rounded individual with lived experience to do what I get to do in this life today.

I hope you can do something today that makes your inner smaller self jump for joy 🤍 they would be so proud to be you 🤍

I love this sparkly smaller self that lives within me. She was always lovable just as she was. 🤍

Repeat after me... I am not responsible for other people’s actions, responses or behaviours. I release my hypervigilance and people-pleasing of those around me. I let go of sacrificing my needs, boundaries, and wants to keep others happy.
•
People-pleasing & hypervigilance of other people’s moods is sometimes referred to as the “fawning” trauma response because it’s so closely associated with overly-appeasing behaviors.
•
Fawning can be seen in all ages of people who have had dysfunctional relationships with parents or other family members. When a person grows up in a shame-based, or abusive environment, they may feel the need to behave a certain way in order to avoid mistreatment or to cater to their caregiver’s emotional needs.
•
A child’s parents or caregivers might be abusive, controlling, or emotionally withholding, preventing them from developing a healthy relationship with emotions. In this kind of unsafe environment, we become cut off from our feelings. This is where we find adults unable to connect with what they actually feel/want in the present moment.
•
They may develop a heightened awareness of their parents’ distress and abandon their own feelings, needs, and desires to tend to the needs of their caregivers.
•
Growing up into a “people-pleaser” can be a natural stress response under these circumstances. If you find that you’re too focused on the needs of others or have trouble standing up for yourself, there’s a chance you could be trapped in a cycle of fawning. For those struggling to cope with fawning, therapy plays an important role in understanding the cause of the trauma and developing healthier coping strategies.
